webOS is a proprietary mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel, initially developed by Palm, which was later acquired by HP.[2] Palm, HP, and most commentators and sources utilize the style "webOS", as shown in the adjacent logo, and in HP resources,[3] rather than "WebOS".
webOS was introduced by Palm in January 2009 as the successor to Palm OS, and was widely acclaimed for its ease of use, integration of Web 2.0 technologies, open architecture, and multitasking capabilities. The first webOS device was the original Palm Pre, released on Sprint in June 2009. In 2010, HP acquired Palm; webOS was described as a key asset and motivation for the purchase.
In February 2011, HP announced several new devices that will use various versions of the operating system, including the HP Veer and HP Pre 3 smartphones, running webOS 2.2, and the HP TouchPad, a tablet computer released in July 2011 that runs webOS 3.0. HP made the "difficult and, frankly, painful decision"[4] that the Palm Pre, Palm Pixi, and their later "Plus" revisions, would not receive over-the-air updates to webOS 2.0,[5] despite a previous announcement of an upgrade "in coming months."[6]
In March 2011, HP announced plans for a version of webOS by the end of 2011 to run within the Microsoft Windows operating system,[7] and to be installed on all HP desktop and notebook computers in 2012.[8]
Background
From 1992 to 2002, personal digital assistant maker Palm Computing (later renamed Palm, Inc.) owned and developed the Palm OS software platform. In 2002, Palm created a wholly owned subsidiary, PalmSource, which was later spun off as an independent company. Palm licensed Palm OS and Windows Mobile as it developed webOS as a new platform to replace both.[9]
webOS was demonstrated by Palm at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2009, and was first released on Sprint with the launch of the Palm Pre in June 2009. The Palm Pixi, and upgraded Plus versions of each, followed, but on Verizon instead of Sprint. Sprint has since phased out the Palm Pre and now only sells the Palm Pixi often at discounted pricing down to zero.
HP purchased Palm in April 2010, the $1.2 billion acquisition finalizing in June. HP indicated its intention to develop the webOS platform for use in multiple products, including smartphones, tablet computers and printers.[10]
HP has no intention presently, of making webOS run on the existing HP-Windows smartphones.[citation needed]
Competitors to WebOS include Apple's iOS, Google's Android and RIM's BlackBerry OS.
Features
Devices
webOS version 1.4.5 runs on the Palm Pre, released June 6, 2009, on the Sprint network, the Palm Pixi, released on November 15, 2009, on Sprint, as well as "Plus" versions later issued on Verizon Wireless and AT&T, and some international carriers.[11]
webOS version 2 runs on Pre 2 phones released since October 2010 in France by SFR,[12] 2010 December by Rogers in Canada, and 2011 February on Verizon in the U.S. Unlocked Pre 2 phones using webOS version 2 are available directly from HP.[13][14]
Plans for additional webOS versions and devices were announced by HP in February 2011,[15][16] including the Touchpad, the Pre 3 and the Veer.
In March 2011, HP announced that all PCs shipped by HP in 2012 will be able to run webOS in addition to Microsoft Windows.[17]
The HP Veer was launched on AT&T on May 15 2011, and is available in two colours.[18]
On June 9, 2011, HP announced that the Wi-Fi version of the HP TouchPad tablet computer will be sold in the United States beginning July 1, 2011.[19] Document editing, other than via Google Docs, will not be enabled at launch.[20] HP also announced it had entered into an agreement with AT&T to offer a connected version of the HP TouchPad tablet later this summer.[19]
HP TouchPad, first made available in the United states on July 1, 2011, received mixed reviews from media outlets on its marketing campaign, webOS developer push.[21] Some outlets said the Tablet PC could be a viable competitor to Apple and Android tablets.[22] HP’s marketing campaign launched July 7, 2011, and features actor Russell Brand, Jay-Z, LeBron James, Miranda Cosgrove, Lea Michele and Manny Pacquaio. The ads showcase various features of the TouchPad such as the “Touch to Share" feature that permits the HP TouchPad tablet computer to dock and transfer data to the Veer mobile phone. For example, a TouchPad owner could download an online recipe simply by touching the tablet to the Veer phone and then use the Veer phone to find the ingredients while shopping at the supermarket.[23] All Things Digital says the launch of the TouchPad is HP’s first major attempt to get webOS to developers.[24]
Interface
webOS's graphical user interface design was led by Matias Duarte for use on devices with touchscreens.[25] webOS uses multi-touch gestures to navigate on the touchscreen. webOS 1.4.5 does not natively include a virtual keyboard application as the devices include slide-out keyboards, but users can obtain virtual keyboards through patching. The interface uses "cards" to manage multitasking. Applications can be launched from either the "Launcher", which displays a default of three pages of application icons in a scrollable grid, or the Quick Launch bar, which displays five icons inline horizontally. The user switches between running applications by a flicking gesture from left and right on the screen. Applications are closed by flicking a "card" up—and "off"—the screen.
Synergy
webOS uses a feature, Synergy, to integrate information from many sources. Users can sign in to accounts on Gmail, Yahoo!, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Microsoft Outlook (via Exchange ActiveSync) and integrate all of these sources into a single list. Calendars from multiple sources can be viewed together or one at a time. For messaging, Synergy combines all conversations with each contact into a single chat-style window. For example, instant messages and SMS text messages are viewed together.[26]
Web browser
The webOS web browser, simply named "Web," uses the WebKit layout engine and accordingly renders pages in a similar way to other WebKit-based browsers such as Apple's Safari, Google's Google Chrome, and Android browsers. The screen orientation switches between landscape or portrait displays on rotating the device.
Synchronization
By design, webOS uses a cloud-based approach rather than using a desktop sync client, but various third-party sync clients are available.
Default Apps
version 1.x
The webOS launcher bar and launcher pages include these default apps:
Name | Usage |
---|---|
Phone | Telephone |
E-mail client | |
Web | Web browser |
Music | Music player |
Messaging | Text messaging, MMS, IM |
Calendar | Calendar |
Camera | Camera - to take pictures and video |
Photos | Photo viewer for pictures taken with the camera or downloaded to the device |
Video | Video app for on-device video recorded with the camera or downloaded |
YouTube | Stream YouTube videos |
Google Maps | Google Maps (does not feature voice-guided navigation) |
Memos | A simple note-taking program |
Clock | Alarm clock, digital/analog clock |
Calculator | Calculator |
App Catalog | To buy webOS apps or download free ones |
Amazon MP3 | To buy music from Amazon |
Doc View | Document viewer from DataViz |
PDF View | PDF Viewer |
Tasks | Used to input and be reminded of tasks. Can sync via EAS |
Contacts | Address/phone book. Aggregates information from various sources |
Despite demonstrations of potential candidate software[27] Adobe Flash cannot run on webOS version 1.
Icons can be moved between launcher pages by tapping and holding.
version for TouchPad
Document editing, other than via Google Docs and Box, will not be enabled at launch.[20]
Third-party applications
Officially vetted third-party applications are accessible from the device for wireless download by using the App Catalog.[28]
webOS was a completely new platform. To enable backward compatibility to its former Palm OS, Palm commissioned a developer, MotionApps, to code and develop an emulator, called Classic, that operates with webOS version 1. PalmOS emulation has been discontinued in webOS version 2.0.[29] MotionApps disengaged from Classic in 2010, citing HP Palm as "disruptive".[30]
Another source of applications is known as Homebrew.[31][32] Homebrew is neither directly supported nor officially condoned by HP, and Homebrew activities could void the device warranty.[33]

The list of open source components used by the different releases of webOS, as well as the source code of and patches applied to each component, is available at the Palm Open Source web page.[78] This page also serves as a reference listing of the versions of webOS that have been publicly released.
Enyo, now in beta, is starting to replace Mojo, released in 2009 June, as the software development kit (SDK).[79]
